Lindsey had a horrible experience during Tango. Stevie's klonopin addiction was just about to go full steam and Mick was still using and abusing. I don't see Lindsey entertaining the idea again. But who knows. The rest of the band did not have a successful solo career like Stevie so they definitely wanted to tour to make some money.

Interesting that the same dynamic was around during 'Tango' - Lindsey liked recording, didn't want to tour; Stevie didn't want to record, did want to tour. And the recording sessions were brutal for Lindsey, largely because Nicks and Fleetwood were still in their out of control phases.
